Three plaintiffs were added to a lawsuit against Maine West High School that alleges coaches condoned hazing.
A lawsuit against Maine West High School alleges that students were hazed and bullied, sometimes at the behest of coaches of some athletic teams.

Des Plaines police told the Chicago Sun-Times that they sought felony charges in the case, but Cook County prosecutors disagreed. Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence for the more serious charges and settled on misdemeanors, the Sun-Times reported. Since that initial …

The event takes on greater significance following highly publicized reports of bullying across the nation, said Rachel Hellenga, director of program services at the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. Hellenga recounted to Skokie Patch a scene during a recent morning session, when the students were asked to stand up if they know anyone bullied in school.

I can't believe how many people think this is normal behavior. First of all this is rape by obvious homosexuals. I don't know about the other guys here but forcing another guy down and grabbing his testicles and forcing fingers into his anus is not only extremely gay but also rape. How any of you can say that kids today whine too much blows me away. Add to all this is the fact that the coach … more ›
